on me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud
que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux

Tout m'avale. Quand j'ai les yeux fermés, c'est par mon ventre que je suis avalée, c'est dans mon ventre que j'étouffe. Quand j'ai les yeux ouverts, c'est par ce que je vois que je suis avalée, c'est dans le ventre de ce que je vois que je suffoque. Je suis avalée par le fleuve trop grand, par le ciel trop haut, par les fleurs trop fragiles, par les papillons trop craintifs, par le visage trop beau de ma mère. Le visage de ma mère est beau pour rien. S'il était laid, il serait laid pour rien. Les visages, beaux ou laids, ne servent à rien. On regarde un visage, un papillon, une fleur, et ça nous travaille, puis ça nous irrite. Si on se laisse faire, ça nous désespère. Il ne devrait pas y avoir de visages, de papillons, de fleurs. Que j'aie les yeux ouverts ou fermés, je suis englobée : il n'y a plus assez d'air tout à coup, mon cœur se serre, la peur me saisit.

can you hear them? the helicopters? i'm in new york, no need for words now. we sit in silence. you look me, in the eye directly. you met me, i think it's wednesday, the evening. the mess we're in, and the city sun sets over me.
night and day, i dream of making love to you now, baby. love making on screen, impossible dream. and i have seen the sunrise over the river. the freeway reminding of this mess we're in, and the city sun sets over me.
what were you wanting? i just want to say, don't ever change now, baby. and thank you, i don't think we will meet again. and you must leave now, before the sunrise above skyscrapers. the sin and this mess we're in, and the city sun sets over me.

Adieu tristesse
Bonjour tristesse
tu es inscrite dans les lignes du plafond
Tu es inscrite dans les yeux que j'aime
Tu n'es pas tout à fait la misère
Car les lèvres les plus pauvres te dénoncent
Par un sourire
Bonjour tristesse
Amour des corps aimables
Puissance de l'amour dont l'amabilité surgit
Comme un monstre sans corps
Tête désappointée
Tristesse beau visage
Bonjour tristesse
tu es inscrite dans les lignes du plafond
Tu es inscrite dans les yeux que j'aime
Tu n'es pas tout à fait la misère
Car les lèvres les plus pauvres te dénoncent
Par un sourire
Bonjour tristesse
Amour des corps aimables
Puissance de l'amour dont l'amabilité surgit
Comme un monstre sans corps
Tête désappointée
Tristesse beau visage

Question: If you could go back in time, which period would you like to go to and why?
Answer: I would have been born in the late 40’s, a kid without a TV, surviving on mail-ordering photographs and autographs and sacred knick-knacks, corresponding with strangers, pen-pals,in a time before the porno digital revolution, when the implication was more obscure, more beautiful, and people talked, in a time when philosophy and strange habits were admired, in a time when things were inky and still poisonous, in a time before the remote control, in a time when the questions were more obscene than the answers, in an age of opinion when people really took sides, in an age of thinkers and good service, in a time when real con men and bank robbers were hard to catch, in a time before sky high security, in a time before marshal law, in a time when one could walk right off the map, in a time when entertainment was artistic, not mathematic, in a time when value was valuable, not obese with emptiness. I probably would have gone to New York in the mid-60’s, left home where my mother was holed up oil painting, my father hot-roding cars, and darted for the city alone. I would have liked to see it all begin, tired of the hippies, plunging into the first of the drug party art galleries, the Warhol dreamscape, watching Edie Sedgwick climbing walls to heaven and slipping over the side with big deer eyes in headlights, still dancing. And the Velvets playing all those weird places doing what nobody wanted but what everyone needed. And watching the darker art punks mingling with the aristos and the street people and the rich artists fucking the poor artists and then everyone changing places, fluxuating and trying each other out and everything out, leaving behind the stiff values that plagued youth yesterday. A time when no one knew what the drugs would do, before worry was born the way it is today, flourishing like a nomadic plague. See Andy and Bridget Berlin sitting in a window of a diner eating hamburgers and drinking chocolate milkshakes in upper Manhattan, admiring transvestites with bad skin walking by like cowboys, because last week they were real cowboys. And to be in the lobby of the Chelsea Hotel with Stanley when he was young, witnessing the chaos there when Edie set fire to 105, and/or just the general chaos there, the abrupt art and the abrupt deaths, the calm before the storm, the storm, the blackouts, the hysteria and all the imagination it took to do all that art, those films, those books, those songs, in a time before people knew what to do with them, before the salesman was perfected, when art was an addiction and artists, mysterious, and rarely careerists, and you could still identify with, and fall in love with- the true spirit of lose canons.
